Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
The Clairvoyant is a 1982 American psychological horror film directed by Armand Mastroianni and starring Perry King, Norman Parker, and Elizabeth Kemp. The plot follows a New York City detective and his friend who pursue a mysterious "handcuff killer" with the aid of an artist who sees—and draws—the killer's crimes before they are committed. The film was originally acquired for distribution by 20th Century Fox, who released it directly to video in 1985 under the alternative title The Killing Hour. It did receive limited regional releases in the United States in 1983 through Jensen Farley Pictures, which were preceded by a theatrical release in France in October 1982. While not prosecuted for obscenity, the film was seized and confiscated in the UK under Section 3 of the Obscene Publications Act 1959 during the video nasty panic. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
